Daming Yinghua

Chapter 30 Minor changes to history, the Dong family is saved

Zheng Haizhu originally thought that most of the people in front of him are simple-minded farmers, who are easy to be incited and frightened. If there are people like Ma Xianglin who come out to intimidate and frighten the villagers, the situation will be fine. subsided.

Unexpectedly, her master, the gentle-looking Miss Han, who is actually quite sassy, ​​just heard that Weng Yuansheng ran on her fiancé Gu Shouqian, and she was already full of anger. Decided to stand up and make a difference.

Han Ximeng said to the crowd: "On the seventh day of Chinese Valentine's Day, my maid and I were at Hanshan Temple. We saw Erye Dong and several scribes, accompanied by the presiding officer of the temple, admiring the stele of poetry in the temple. How could he bully me at his own house more than 100 miles away? Countryman?"

Dong Zuchang heard the words, let go of Weng Yuansheng, cupped his hands sideways and said: "Thank you Miss Han for clarifying, I was indeed meeting friends in Gusu City that day, I don't know that Miss Han is also there for the Rover."

Weng Yuansheng heard the word "Han", but turned the eyes of the two mice, stared at Han Ximeng and said: "This one, is the eldest lady of the Han family in Qingshui Lane? Why is she also at Dong's house today?"

Han Ximeng disdained to talk to such bastards.

Although Zheng Shoukuan on the other side is young, under the influence of Zheng Haizhu, he understands the taboos of the world, so he replied coldly on behalf of the hostess: "My lady is just passing by this street today, and I don't want to be surrounded by those green-skinned people. You can only go to Dong's mansion where there are female relatives to avoid disaster."

When Weng Yuansheng heard that the other party did not deny that she was the eldest lady of the Han family, he gave a sly smile and pulled his throat and said: "I also remembered, little official. Half a month ago, Master Han secretly came to our prefect Wu, saying that her niece, um... , that is, Miss Han, who left a letter saying that she wanted to learn embroidery from a teacher, so she left home without authorization and begged our government to find someone. Just a few days ago, news came from the Weitang Inspection Department in the neighboring county that there was a A lady from the Songjiang Mansion surnamed Han and a servant girl surnamed Zheng were taken away by bandits on a night boat going down from Suzhou. Oh, could it be... eh, that’s not true. If it was Miss Han who suffered, why did you come back in a hurry? gone?"

Weng Yuansheng has already shown the vicious state of jumping over the wall in a hurry, and his words are full of obscene hints.

Han Ximeng was really startled when he heard this, and his heart beat violently.

The famous lady of Songjiang Mansion loves to go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to pay pilgrimage. She originally thought that she would appear in Hanshan Temple, which would not cause people to think too much.

Unexpectedly, this treacherous scribe knows so much.

But after thinking about it, at this point, being secretive and even cowardly to the point of being speechless will only fuel the arrogance of this bad species and ignite future gossip.

So Han Ximeng stared at Weng Yuansheng without any hesitation, and said loudly: "You don't have to be eccentric. The three people who were robbed by the bandits that day were our master and servant. Fortunately, as soon as we entered the bandit village, we met this General Ma, who was leading the army. The court's brave army wiped out the den of thieves. By the way, the maid in my house is a woman who doesn't give up on her eyebrows. She also helped General Ma and killed the bandit leader. You dirty-minded bastard, when you hear that the bandits hijacked a good woman, you only want the dirty people to be innocent Thinking about it, how could we understand that the universe has its own righteousness, the court is in charge, there are strong generals like General Ma leading the elite soldiers, what kind of lake bandits and bandits are there, what are we people afraid of them?"

As soon as Han Ximeng's courage to break the boat came up, he spoke heartily and righteously, and some of the neighbors who surrounded Dong's house showed their approval.

Ma Xianglin stood with his sleeves behind him, listening to Han Ximeng's eloquent talk, caught a glimpse of Zheng Haizhu's nervous eyes, and immediately had a plan.

He nodded at the right time and said: "That's right, the lake bandits were suppressed by this general. Ms. Han taught her servants well, and this Miss Zheng is very brave. The imperial court will reward you. By the way, your Songjiang Mansion's parent officer, Mr. Huang, also Witnessing the situation at that time, Mr. Huang, if you don't see your prefect Wu this time, you have to bring the word to Songjiang Mansion to praise the heroic deeds of the Han family's nephews and servants."

Huang Zunsu squinted at Weng Yuansheng, bowed his hands to Ma Xianglin, and preached with deep meaning: "I understand that the men in one prefecture and three counties must also reflect on themselves. With a dignified body of seven feet, they should do something and not do something. "

As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion outside the crowd, and two men in official uniforms squeezed in panicked.

The color of their robes is the same as Huang Zunsu's, they are all blue, but on the patch on the chest, one is embroidered with white pheasants and the other is embroidered with egrets.

"Oh, I don't know who the capital is coming from, but I'm not welcome from afar, and I'm not welcoming you from afar."

These two veterans in the officialdom are naturally more knowledgeable than the people around them, and they know that flying fish clothes are bestowed upon them, not just for the brocade guards who are weaving them, so they didn't rashly call "angel" to Ma Xianglin.

But those who can wear the flying fish suit and bring so many cavalry to kill must have some background, and they must not be taken lightly.

They had just learned about it from the informant, and soon realized that Huang Zunsu had found reinforcements, and the situation took a turn for the worse. This time, the attack on the Dong Mansion might be in vain.

The two raised their official prestige, shouted at the yamen servants and village braves they had brought, and dispersed all the green-skinned hooligans and the farmers who followed him, and then seized several leading men in Fanjiazhuang, and assured Ma Xianglin that they would Severe punishment.

While Tongzhi and Tongpan were putting on airs, they saw that the ebony door of Dong's mansion was completely opened by the servants. An old man wearing a gauze Tang scarf hat and a brown mountain-pattern robe was accompanied by his disciple Gu Shouqian. down the steps.

"Father was shocked." Dong Zuchang hurried forward and said.

Dong Qichang, who was over sixty years old, bowed his hands to Ma Xianglin, Huang Zunsu and others: "Guys, the situation suddenly got out of control just now. I heard that the villagers were planning to burn the house with fuel oil. A little bit."

After exchanging pleasantries, Dong Qichang came to the men in Fanjiazhuang who were already in shackles, pointed at them, and said to the Tongzhi and Tongjue of Songjiang Mansion, "The two parents and officials are embarrassing them. Could it be that they are pretending to be ignorant? They are just simple and righteous villagers, and today they are in danger of causing a catastrophe because they were deceived by Weng Yuansheng. General Ma from the imperial court and all the neighbors are invited to witness, I only need to sue Weng Yuansheng who slandered and deceived the people for what happened today , and will never vent my anger on Fan Chang's survivors and the folks in Fanjiazhuang."

Ma Xianglin also came up and said calmly: "Okay, I will return to the capital to return to my command. When I pass by Yingtian Mansion, I will also inform the Futai and the Procuratorate about this matter."

The Tongzhi of Songjiang Mansion had no choice but to order the release of the people from Fanjiazhuang under the watchful eyes of everyone, and take away Weng Yuansheng who had already looked ashen.

After the country men kowtowed to Dong Shichang with ashamed expressions and left in groups of three or five, the Tongzhi and Tongjuan put on a polite smirk, and wanted to arrange a house for Ma Xianglin and his sergeants, and hold a banquet to welcome the wind.

At this time, Gu Shouqian stepped forward and said: "General Ma, Miss Han has already made a marriage contract with me. I am very grateful for your lord's previous rescue. My family has an academy in the city to recruit children from various counties in Songjiang to study and take exams. These It's the time when the late rice is being planted, and they all go back to help with farm work at home. Please adults and all athletes, go to the academy to rest, and let me show the friendship of the landlord."

Ma Xianglin smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to your house."

Then he said calmly to the fellow magistrate of the Songjiang Mansion: "You guys should go back too. I'm going to clear up the bandits for days, and I'm very tired. It's enough to drink a few glasses of thin wine with Huang Guanren and talk about friendship."
